The Grand Ducal Police's operations are divided into six regions, which are under the command of a regional director. The director is responsible for primary intervention centres, secondary intervention centres, local police stations, and region-wide services. The region headquarters are in Capellen, Diekirch, Esch-sur-Alzette, Grevenmacher, Luxembourg City, and Mersch. The primary intervention centres are the most capable and best equipped police stations to address emergencies. The CIPs also serve as the headquarters for the region, providing administrative support for the region's other operation centres. The CIPs' jurisdictions cover their respective regions. Under the six CIPs are thirteen 'secondary intervention centre'. As the CIPs perform the role of the CISs, as well as their own functions, there are seven dedicated CISs, located in Differdange, Dudelange, Echternach, Redange, Remich, Troisvierges, and Wiltz. Local police stations operate separately from the CISs and CIPs, but are under the control of the regional director. In addition to the thirteen CIPs and CISs, which perform the role of CPs, there are thirty-eight dedictated local stations, distributed across the main towns and cities of Luxembourg. Eight of these dedicated CPs are in Luxembourg City, in addition to the CIP. A special police division at Luxembourg – Findel Airport is directly responsible for border control. The regional police forces are also directly responsible for policing the roads, criminal investigation, and providing aid to victims of crime. Officers are armed with the Heckler & Koch VP9 chambered in 9x19mm Important: On 22 June 2015, the government of Luxembourg announced a complete overhaul of that organization structure. As a consequence, this chapter has to be revised, once the new structure will be in place.

Emergencies
It is either the CISs or the CIPs that one would contact in the event of an emergency, as they are the only police stations which are continuously open. The emergency telephone number for the police is 113, instead of 112, like the other emergency services.
